Painting buildings offers the watercolourist an exciting challenge, but there are few books available to help the aspiring artist. In this book, master artist Nicholas Poullis shares his approach, techniques and experience to help the reader produce paintings that are at once accurate and inspiring.
Nicholas Poullis, also known as Le Peintre de Pézenas (The Painter of Pézenas), paints watercolours directly from life with a distinct and personal style. Originally from England, in 2000, he moved near Pézenas, in Southern France, where he has become established.
Born 1974, Nicholas Poullis has been a professional artist since leaving the University of East Anglia gaining a BA(Hons) illustration. He is a previous Baker Tilly Award winner at the Royal Watercolour Society, where he has often shown his work. He has exhibited in a number of the London Societies including the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Sunday Times Watercolour competition and the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
Always painting on site has meant that he has travelled extensively throughout Europe while exploring subject matter. He produced work on the route and cyclists of the Tour de France and also on the theme of places of cultural significance across the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and southern France.
Nicholas has work included in the collections of St Johns College, Cambridge University, Baker Tilly Chartered accountants, senior officers of the Royal Air Force, The Royal Automobile Club, the Office de Tourisme of Pezenas and many private collections. He has been a contributing author to the leading practical art magazine, The Artist, for over fifteen years, and has contributed to a number of publications. Nicholas has held major exhibitions that have attracted thousands of visitors at the l'Hôtel des Barons de Lacoste, the Mirondela dels Arts and had solo exhibition at the RAC in Pall Mall.
